Modular fabrication table

Abstract

Existing fabrication tables are often expensive, immobile, unsafe, and difficult to work with. This invention comprises a modular fabrication table, which is rapidly adaptable to expand over a large surface area, add perpendicular work surfaces, and integrate existing peripheral components that can be purchased at a store. This allows fabrication prototypers to have relatively inexpensive, mobile, sturdy, square, and level tables within which to configure structures for the production of fabrication work pieces.

What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An apparatus for a modular fabrication table comprising:
 a. A working surface wherein the working surface comprises:
 i. A plurality of modular surface units (MSUs); wherein each of said MSUs comprises
 an MSU end comprising an MSU monitoring hole, an MSU center fixturing hole and an end cap inset distance, and an MSU end angle, 
 an MSU top surface, 
 an MSU side surface, 
 an MSU bottom surface, 
 an MSU interior aperture, 
 a plurality of fixturing apertures, 
 one or more fixturing aperture distances, and 
 one or more corner radial curves: and 
 
 ii. A plurality of inter-MSU spaces between said plurality of MSUs; and 
 iii. At least one fixture aperture grid on each of said plurality of MSUs; 
 
 b. A base attachable to said plurality of MSU, wherein the base comprises:
 i. One or more legs wherein said one or more legs further comprise a leveling mechanism; 
 ii. An anchoring frame attachable to said one or more legs such that said anchoring frame is supported by said one or more legs; 
 iii. One or more adaptable attachment components attachable to said anchoring frame; and 
 iv. An anchoring surface comprised of one or more modular foundation attachable to said one or more adaptable attachment components; 
 
 c. A fixturing peripheral attachable to at least one of said MSU ends. 
 
     
     
       2. The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein said plurality of adaptable attachment components comprises:
 a. a separator rod: and 
 b. a micro adjustment leveling mechanism. 
 
     
     
       3. The apparatus of  claim 1  wherein the anchoring surface further comprises:
 a. A modular framing unit (MFU), wherein the MFU comprises:
 i. an MFU end; 
 ii. an MFU top surface; 
 III. an MFU side surface; 
 iv. an MFU bottom surface; 
 v. One or more MFU attachment apertures; and 
 vi. One or more MFU interior apertures; 
 
 b. An inter-MFU space between said plurality of MFUs. 
 
     
     
       4. The apparatus of  claim 3  wherein the MFU end comprises:
 a. one or more MFU angled edges; and 
 b. one or more MFU end caps. 
 
     
     
       5. The apparatus of  claim 4  wherein the MFU end caps comprise:
 i. one or more MFU monitoring holes and; 
 ii. one or more MFU center fixturing holes.
